Caron Renaissance

The most wonderful place to recover from codependency.
Father Bill is sadly missed by our family. He baptized me and married me as well as mentoring my career as an addiction counselor. This is magic Mountain.

^^ Does NOT even deserve one star^^^^ The absolute worst rehab facility you could ever imagine. All they care about is taking your money. They will say anything to get you in the door. I was assured I could have my ESA. As soon as we entered the facility they told me I could not have my ESA and tried to have me board my dog. Again, spending more money. Meanwhile, there are ESA's walking all around the facility. This was going to be my second time returning to this facility and they made it absolutely impossible to receive the help I so hoped for. The attitude of the staff was a complete abomination. You would think they would take better care of their alumni. When looking for a mental health facility THIS IS NOT the place !!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!
Worst treatment center you will ever experience.

This place is all about money , they brain wash your kids. The blame the parents for the kids problem and try to suck the whole family into therapy .
They tell you your kids need only 28 days and the moment you go in the try to keep you there for as long as you can pay. Everyone spend about 8 months In the rate of $25000. Per month.
They ruin my relationship with my older daughter that wasn't the Patient. They ask her to come as a family number for support And told her she need therapy too also me and my husbande they find problem. They will find problem with
everyone even your pet.
Our family teresa was the worst therapy

This was by far the worst facility I've ever endured I lost my marriage& I had to go to trauma therapy after I left and I'm just healing the relationship with my son I am sober today no thanks to Caron renaissance. They only care about the money & status of folks...Very abusive treatment NOT recommended & should be discredited!

The Caron Foundation and Caron Renaissance have change my life for the better. I am forever grateful for the scholarship they gave me and for challenging to some of the sick thoughts and attitudes I developed over 15 years of drug and alcohol abuse. It was incredible all the support from the staff, I was ready to get healthy and they gave me all the tools I needed. Prepared me for how to prepare for real life stress situations with drink or turning to drugs. It has been five years and I continually give back and have seen 100's of people lives betteres. THe statistics are no in our favor, but Caron has one of the most successful programs!

I am a parent of two Caron Renaissance patients. Save your money. I found this place to be the most degrading, humiliating, manipulating atmosphere. Unfortuantly it took the second time to realize this.
As in the other reviews this is not a 3 month program. Both my family members were there for 6-7 months.
During family week they were very disrespectful to my entire family and tried to pit the other families against us. It was a very traumatizing few days.
I sat in on one group therapy session where the spent the entire time pitting these young adults against each other and humiliating each and every one of them.
I strongly believe this place should be shut done.
How it receives 4 star reviews is beyond disbelief. Don't believe them.
AA saved both my family members and it didn't cost 6 figures!

Saved my life! Tempany is amazing!!! It's hell while you are there but best place to save your life. I graduated about 5 years ago.

We sent a family member here years ago at a point of desperation. What we found upon our arrival for our family visit was essentially a shame factory. I have personally never seen counselors act in such an abusive and humiliating manor. They seem to be attempting a misguided form of tough love, with the delusional belief that shaming wounded people will in some way help them recover. In fact they proudly had us participate in an activity called "the circle of shame" where all the patients visiting relatives circled around the traumatized addict and told them everything they have done wrong. Completely ineffective in my opinion, when I had the courage to voice my concerns about this abusive activity, they accused me of being a "cheerleader" and said I was playing with fire encouraging those struggling with addiction to heal their personal trauma. I deeply believe, in the brillaint words of physician and author Gabor Mate, when it comes to addiction you never ask why the addiction but instead why the pain. Most in active addiction have a history riddled with childhood trauma and abuse. Addiction is often really a poorly chosen coping mechanism for feelings, memories and emotions that a person can't handle. They have not learned a better way yet, there are better ways. This establishment seems to focus on reminding you about all your mistakes instead of teaching you forgiveness, self love and compassion. We were blessed to discover the miraculous benefits of plant medicines and inner healing. My younger sister found her path to spirituality and sacred medicines, her life is forever changed and I am very grateful for that. I hope anyone looking at this review realizes there is hope, you just most likely won't find it at Caron Renaissance.

Wonderful experience! Anyone saying that is too hard isn't ready to do the hard work. Getting healthy is hard and this team has the expertise to do it efficiently. Saved my life and many of my loved ones

In all honesty I'm pretty sure I left this facility worse than when I went in. If I didn't give them something to probe at me about they would make things up. The place thrives on drama and encourages it with patients to see how we will react and it never did anything effective. A lot of family relationships were strained because of the therapists there. They don't tell patients when they will be leaving, take all of there possessions and cut all contact with the outside world. I was massively depressed living there. I was there on a scholarship and the staff was constantly rubbing it in my face that my family and I couldn't afford $25,000 out of pocket a month. My family therapist Maggie was horrible, rude and had way too much Botox. I would never recommend this place to anyone, even rats deserve better.
